Our final observation from the first night of the second weekend of AFL pre-season relates to our observation from the Hawks-Roos-Tigers game last week on the implementation of the experimental no-touch rule for boundary ruck contests.
Live (at the stadium), it was very clear that there was significant improvement in the spectacle and effectiveness of boundary ruck work with the no-touch rule.
Watching tonight’s Swans-Saints-Cats game (live on TV), AussieRulesBlog hardly noticed any boundary ruck contests and the camera didn’t do us any favours to see the ruckmen prior to the ball being thrown in.
If you haven’t seen a game live, try to do so during this pre-season so you can see this rule in action.
It’s a keeper!
